I hear 'servus' used frequently in southern Germany, it seems like a greeting. Interesting.

The Venn between 'sees footage of ICE and still wants to recruit' and 'gun owner' overlaps a lot more than the former and non-gun owners.

I'm a gun owner and think it's abhorrent, but c'mon: who do you think is stepping up to the plate right now?

I’d encourage you to be rigorous with this assumption.

The line between even folks who will cheer on a Gestapo on TV and those who would materially aid it in their own communities is bright and wide.

The answer to whatever perceived (unfounded) overlap between gun owners to potential ICE agents is not to encourage or condone more prejudice and ostracization of the people who do not fall in both categories via speech that lumps them in with the others anyway.

That's a very disrespectful way to recognize and appreciate them.

I’m sure there is more overlap between gun ownership vs non, but I’d argue the overlap from both groups is vanishingly small. Plenty of liberals own guns, and also a lot of people that would not identify as liberal are extremely anti gestapo. Even most of the original MAGAs are not in support of the current state of affairs.

Where do i even begin to respond to this?

Plants growing slightly faster does not mitigate the many consequences of increased CO2.

Gloating? Oh no! We should impeach him!

You don't actually do anything of those things though, if youre the average US pickup truck owner

>I don't get any enjoyment from "building something without understanding" — what would I learn from such a thing? How could I trust it to be secure or to not fall over when i enter a weird character? How can I trust something I do not understand or have not read the foundations of? Furthermore, why would I consider myself to have built it?

All of these questions are irrelevant if the objective is 'get this thing working'.

Then I don't think you've thought your position through very well.
